{"product_id":"lost-watercolours-of-edward-bawden-book","title":"The Lost Watercolours of Edward Bawden","description":"\u003cp\u003eCelebrated as an illustrator and printmaker, Edward Bawden (1903–1989) was also, in the 1930s, a modern painter of real critical standing. This book assembles the largest group of his pre-war watercolours ever brought together, many first shown at his solo exhibitions at the Zwemmer Gallery in 1933 and the Leicester Galleries in 1938.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracing them took three years: some had disappeared into private hands, while others sat in public collections under new names, Bawden’s poetic original titles long since replaced. Publisher Tim Mainstone recounts the search, and James Russell, author of the \u003cem\u003eRavilious in Pictures\u003c\/em\u003e series, opens with an essay on Bawden’s life and work through the decade. Many of the paintings were newly photographed for the book and are reproduced at generous scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePublished by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.stjudesprints.co.uk\/collections\/the-mainstone-press\"\u003eThe Mainstone Press\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed a 2016 Book of the Year by \u003cem\u003eThe Sunday Times\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eNew Statesman\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘At least half the examples … have not been seen in public in living memory.’\u003c\/em\u003e – Alan Powers, \u003cem\u003eCountry Life\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 192 pages\u003cbr\u003e• Page size 300 × 280 mm\u003cbr\u003e• Full cloth binding with a decorative label and slipcase\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited to 850 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edward Bawden","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":57582135869820,"sku":"MAINSTONE_LOSTWATERCOLOURS_BOOK","price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0031\/1712\/files\/edward-bawden-lost-watercolours-1_e8ab4304-a7ac-4b30-ae99-ebde7be66451.jpg?v=1791366803","url":"https:\/\/www.stjudesprints.co.uk\/products\/lost-watercolours-of-edward-bawden-book","provider":"St. Jude's Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
